第12章 下一站幸福 (11)

Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness though, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, our minds and from our souls. I bet many of you are reading this now and saying, “Yeah, that is easier said than done!” And what do we say to that? Well, in the end that’s your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!

In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” a part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you do not contradict what you really feel you’d like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip about other people, and when you become aware of it you will see how often it is actually attached with feelings of jealousy, envy and insecurity about yourself.

You should also take a close look at your “intention”. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting recognition or acknowledgement for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it! We may not always pay attention to what our true intentions are behind our words, thoughts and actions because many of us are not aware of the power and effect they have when it comes to creating our lives.

Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside of us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. All of these things are born from a “negative” attitude and will not help us in any way at all when it comes to bringing a brighter “sunshine” into our lives. If you took all your negative attitudes in one hand and measured your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you would see how both these elements really contradict each other.

Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people who are around you!

经过了漫长的冬季,春天总会让你有截然不同的感觉。当你的生活撒上一层阳光时,你感觉有多爽?阳光对我们的精神究竟有怎样的影响?阳光能赋予我们安慰、乐观和自信,当然也少不了微笑。设想一下,如果一整年我们都是如此积极,那该多好!

假如你真想拥有这样的生活,是完全可能的。但是为了拥有这样快乐的生活状态,我们必须让阳光发自内心,源自心灵、头脑和灵魂。我确信大部分正在读这篇文章的人都会说:“是啊,说着容易,做着难!”对此,我们该如何回答呢?嗯, 最后的决定权在你的手中。假如你确实那样认为,你的生活就会反映出你的那种态度!

为了让“阳光”——或者说是“光明”——成为我们生命的组成部分,我们需要审视自己的思想、言辞以及行为,避免现实中的自己和自己真正想要在生活中创造出的东西产生矛盾,这一点尤其重要。要审视自己的想法,彻底弄清自己头脑中有多少关于自己和周围其他人的消极想法,注意自己是不是讲了许多别人的闲话。一旦你认识到这一点,你就会明白其实这些都源自你自身的嫉妒和不安全感。

你还应该认真地审视自己的“动机”。有多少人为别人做事而不图回报?或许你期待的不一定是物质或身体上的回报,对认可或感谢的期待完全可以作为你的“动机”。好好想想吧!我们或许不会一直关注言行和思想背后的真正动机,因为我们中的许多人并没有认识到动机在创造生活中的力量和影响。

总结所有这些因素,好像我们中的大多数人都在内心创造出了一个怪物,我们仅仅是在谈论、思考,对帮助别人却没有怀着适当的动机去表露真心。一切都源于一种“否定”的态度,而当关系到给生活带来更为明亮的“阳光”时,这些根本不会对我们有所帮助。假如你把一切消极的态度都放在一只手中,并在另一只手中权衡你对“阳光”的需要,你就会明白,这些因素相互之间到底有多么矛盾。

勇敢些吧,在这个春天改变你的模式和习惯。唯有这样,你才能让真正的阳光从心底放射,让阳光照进你的生活,也照进你周围人的生活。

快乐三明治

Enjoy Every Sandwich

查尔斯?扎诺尔 / Charles Zanor

I did not know who Warren Zevon was until last year, when his impending death from lung cancer made the news. He was a singer-songwriter, and it turned out that I was very familiar with one of his pieces—the famous were wolf song that blares from the jukebox while Tom Cruise prances victoriously around the pool table in The color of Money. It has always been one of my favorite movie scenes.

Zevon’s illness provoked a seemingly heartfelt show of support from others in the entertainment business. David Letterman featured him for an entire show, and at one point asked him if his illness had given him any wisdom. Zevon’s response: “Enjoy every sandwich.”
